iBASE MI956 Industrial Motherboard
The iBASE MI956 Industrial Motherboard is built around an industrial-grade Mini-ITX form factor, supporting deployment in manufacturing floors, automation, and embedded control systems. It operates reliably in conditions from 0°C to 60°C with 90% humidity resistance, making it suitable for continuous-duty industrial environments. Equipped with dual Intel Gigabit LAN controllers and extensive I/O options including multiple RS232 ports and SATA interfaces, it facilitates robust connectivity and data transfer. The motherboard supports 2nd generation Intel Core processors and dual-channel DDR3 memory for consistent computational performance in demanding applications.
Video output versatility is ensured through DVI-I, DVI-D, and HDMI interfaces with HDCP support, supporting diverse display needs. Compliance with RoHS, CE standards, and EuP/ErP regulations underscores its readiness for industrial deployment. Additional reliability features include a 256-level watchdog timer and AMI BIOS. The compact Mini-ITX size also assists in embedding within space-constrained installations, providing a reliable platform for extended operation and lifecycle optimisation.
